Drunken Philosophy

#254 - Adorno and Culture Industry

If you're tired of all your podcasts sounding the same, fitting
into the same cookie-cutter shape, and convincing you to remain
sedate and complacent, you might be confronting a little thing
called the Culture Industry. German philosophy Theodor Adorno along
with Max Horkheimer developed this Marxist critique of capitalist
society before joining the highly influential Frankfurt Group in
the wake of WWII. This week, Connor and Dan try to figure out what
it's all about.
